Former teammate Larry Sanders may feel that Jennings should have passed more, but Jennings thinks the only way the Bucks had a chance was for him and backcourt mate Monta Ellis to take the majority of shots.

“I had to, I had to, though,” he said. “I mean, I had to take the shots. That’s just what it is. Me and Monta had to take those shots. Regardless for us to even get into the eighth spot in the playoffs, we had to take those shots. That’s just what it is.”

“I wasn’t taking shots at Milwaukee, but let’s be honest here,” Jennings said. “I got two of the best young big men in the league. I’m not going to sugarcoat it or say it any other way. If he feels like I wasn’t passing him the ball … (laughs). There’s times that that I had 20, 18, 19 assists in a game over there, so I was passing.

“Sometimes you gotta be able to finish.”

That last part might be a good-natured shot back at Sanders, who is known for his defense more than he is for his offense. But Jennings clearly has no hard feelings about the exchange.

“Hey, they paid him $11 million per year, so he’s doing something right,” Jennings said of Sanders.

Those Pistons-Bucks games this season are going to be absolute wars … probably.

Interestingly enough Jennings who is not a very good shooter is the best shooter among the Pistons starters. Drummond, Smith and Monroe none of whom can make three point shots, though Smith shoots them, had a combine FG% last season from beyond 3′ of under 35%.

I doubt we will see much change in Jennings game in Detroit other than throwing a noticeably larger number of alley-oop passes. However, he will still chuck them up from beyond the arc because frankly it will be the PIstons best chance of scoring when Monroe, Smith or Drummond are not dunking.

a future front court of john henson and larry sanders will be GREAT. that pair of bigs vs the pistons’ bigs should be good to see. plus, both point guards of each team would be facing their former team.
